August 6, 2016: Pipe Organ Concert at Holy Rosary Parish (Event Gallery)



A happy crowd gathered at Holy Rosary Parish Saturday evening for a free concert "featuring internationally acclaimed composer-organist Alejandro Consolacion II with the special participation of Holy Rosary Parish Chamber Singers, Holy Angel University Chorale, and Divine Majesty Male Choir." The audience was invited to come and discover the elegance, beauty and power of the pipe organ, a musical instrument "Ever Ancient, Ever New."

The photos here were taken from a great distance, on a phone, at maximum zoom; please forgive the low quality.

Incidentally, we were lucky enough to sit with our friend Lucio Sison, who gave us some historical background on the church edifice.
